Absorption of ion-cyclotron range of frequencies waves at the fundamental resonance is an efficient source of plasma heating and fast ion generation in tokamaks and stellarators. This heating method is planned to be exploited as a fast ion source in the We ...

Neoclassical toroidal torque generation by auxiliary heating in non-axisymmetric tori

Olivier Sauter

In conditions of ideal axisymmetry, for a magnetized plasma in a generic bounded domain, necessarily toroidal, the uniform absorption of external energy (e.g. rf or isotropic alpha heating) clearly cannot give rise to net forces or torques. A rather common ...

Recent ASDEX Upgrade research in support of ITER and DEMO

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Alessandro Pau, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Laurie Porte, Haomin Sun, Yann Camenen, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Alberto Bottino, Emiliano Fable, Andrea Scarabosio, Doohyun Kim, Dávid Wágner, Thomas Binderup Jensen, Heinz Mueller, Donghyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Bernhard Sieglin, Otto Asunta, Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli, Gergely Papp, Giovanni Tardini

Recent experiments on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak aim at improving the physics base for ITER and DEMO to aid the machine design and prepare efficient operation. Type I edge localized mode (ELM) mitigation using resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) has been ...

In the European fusion roadmap, ITER is followed by a demonstration fusion power reactor (DEMO), for which a conceptual design is under development. This paper reports the first results of a coherent effort to develop the relevant physics knowledge for tha ...

Nonlinear transfer processes between large-scale edge flows and the ambient broadband fluctuations have been shown to play a significant role in the dynamics of edge turbulence, including spreading power from coherent modes and suppressing turbulence at th ...

I-mode is a high-performance tokamak regime characterized by the formation of a temperature pedestal and enhanced energy confinement, without an accompanying density pedestal or drop in particle and impurity transport. I-mode operation appears to have natu ...

We describe results from imaging observations of atomic line and continuum emission in the 550.6 nm region on Alcator C-Mod. Both the 550.6 nm neutral molybdenum emission and the adjacent 549 nm continuum emission are imaged separately to isolate line emis ...

Edge Localized Mode Control in TCV

Jonathan Rossel

The Tokamak concept, based on magnetic confinement of a hydrogen plasma, is one of today's most promising paths to energy production by nuclear fusion. The experimental scenarios leading to the largest fusion rate are based on a high confinement plasma reg ...

Integrated modelling of ICRH in a quasi-axisymmetric stellarator

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Martin Jucker

We apply the code package SCENIC to a two field-period quasi-axisymmetric stellarator. Ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) is applied both on the high-and low-field side to a 1% He-3 minority in a deuterium plasma. It is shown that due to toroidal varia ...

Minority and mode conversion heating in (He-3)-H JET plasmas

Mikhail Maslov, Yu Lin

Radio frequency (RF) heating experiments have recently been conducted in JET (He-3)-H plasmas. This type of plasmas will be used in ITER's non-activated operation phase. Whereas a companion paper in this same PPCF issue will discuss the RF heating scenario ...
